Great work!

Now that you’ve shared a bit about yourself, we’d like you to consider policies designed to encourage COVID-19 vaccinations.

Policy Attributes

Below is a description of the various policy attributes that will vary across every policy - each policy will be a combination of a universal vaccine mandate, enforced by a fine at tax season for not complying, different types of monetary incentives given out at tax season for being fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and the administration of vaccination clinics. Each attribute contains an associated image helping to explain the attribute.

Accessibility

Accessibility refers to the distance in which a vaccination clinic would be placed from homes. It varies with increasing increments from 0-10 miles from a constituent’s residence. A distance of 0 miles indicates door-door in-residence vaccination campaigns, a distance greater than 0 miles indicates that the policy involves a mobile or indoor public vaccination clinic.

Incentives

Incentives refers to the type of commodity that would be given out at tax season as an incentive for being fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by the tax return deadline. It varies by cash (tax rebates) and cash equivalents (gift cards) redeemable at:

Grocery stores
Internet providers
Professional sporting events

Incentive Value

Incentive value refers to the monetary value of commodities that would be given out at tax season for being fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by the tax return deadline. It varies by increasing increments from $0 to $1000.

Penalty

This value refers to the penalty due at tax season for failing to get a being fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by the tax return deadline under a vaccine mandate. It varies by increasing increments from $0 to $1000.

Questions

Practice Question

We would like to begin with one practice question below. Your response to this question will not be recorded.

If these were the only options available, would you choose to take the vaccine under the policy below, or choose to not take the vaccine?

Mandate: Vaccine mandated, $100 fine for non-compliance
Accessibility: Vaccination clinic will be located within 3 miles from your house
Incentive: $50 in cash

Would you take the vaccine under these conditions?

Great work!

We will now begin with the choice questions. On the next few pages we will show you different combinations of policy attributes regarding COVID-19 vaccinations. There will be a total of 10 choice questions for you to answer.
